Scout report
J. Day is a 36-year-old goalkeeper at Cheltenham, enjoying a standout season — 0 goals and 0 assists in 46 appearances, a Season grade of 16, top 14% of League Two goalkeepers. On long-term scout potential he's rated 13.5, ranking 105th of 134 in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present (100% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Day.
Judged on this season alone, Day graded 16 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 7 goalkeepers in the League Two, on 11 clean sheets across 46 appearances.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 7 → 16). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 14, 4th of 7 of the 7 goalkeepers in the League Two. At 36 Day is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.7 reflects that trajectory.
Day is operating at his career peak — the 2025/26 level is the level.
Output in context · Cheltenham finished 18th of 24 · a lower-table side
11 clean sheets in 46 appearances (24% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (18th of 24) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 100% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 13.5, Day carries the 4th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the League Two of 7, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Cheltenham finished 18th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
